There was an article where he said he wanted to improve, fitness and attacking the footy more, he said having Steven King back at the Cats was great. I'll see if I can find the article. Averaged 87 last year, so with some more attacking play I'm hoping he can average 100+

Atkins said his pre-season was focused on developing a more attacking style of midfield play, after progressing through Geelong’s ranks as a small defender and defensive midfielder.

“I’ve still got plenty of flaws in my game I’m trying to work on,” he said.
“Probably trying to become a bit more offensively minded, that’s been a downfall of mine throughout my whole career, so trying to work on that.
“Trying to get my running to go up a level as well.
“Having that extra time in the break really helps just to get refocused and really figure out a few things I can work on this off-season.”

Adelaide veteran Rory Sloane is set to start exercising again from Wednesday as the former Crows captain begins his comeback from a second surgery on a detached retina.
Sloane was at Crows’ training on Monday at West Lakes, where he walked laps.
The 33-year-old had surgery on a detached retina for a second time after he noticed he had lost some of his peripheral vision during training.

It is the sixth eye issue Sloane has experienced during his 255-game AFL career.

As Sloane looks at getting goggles to protect his eyes during his recovery from the latest surgery, he is set to ramp-up his training load this week.
“We know how positive Sloaney is and how important he is for the group – and it is great to have him back at the club,” Crows defensive coach Jack Hombsch said.
“I think the plan, for this week and over the next few days, is to get him moving a bit and doing some exercise. He is infectious and comes in with such good energy so it is good to have him back again.”

Sloane will miss the Crows’ internal trial in Port Lincoln on Friday evening.
Young midfielder Jake Soligo is back at training, but is also a doubt to feature in the hitout after he suffered an ankle injury just under two weeks ago.

Hombsch said the Crows would begin the game with their likely best-22.
“We have one more go at the internal trial and then we can get at Port Adelaide and West Coast,” Hombsch said. “But to the boys’ credit, they have had a really strong pre-season, they are fit and ready to go I’m really looking forward to seeing them in (Port) Lincoln.
“I think at the moment we will look at a probable-22 for the first half and then will do a bit of a mix-and-match for the second half. It will be a good chance for the boys.”
